7:05 am
nato has accused russia of using cluster bombs in ukraine which kill indiscriminately and are banned under international law. >> the suffering is likely to get worse before it gets better for as long as russia pursues these methods. >> reporter: the u.s. and nato are supplying weapons and diplomatic cover condemning russia for attacking a power plant in zaporizhzhia. no radiation was detected. >> by the grace of god, the world narrowly averted a nuclear catastrophe last night. >> reporter: ukraine sabotaging bridges to slow the advance of a russian column that at one point had been 40 miles long. it appears stalled about 17 miles from kyiv. everywhere in this besieged country, men and women joining a budding resistance. in a bomb-proof basement, these men learning the mechanics of ak-47s. outside, guns pointed at this car. it's a dry run, civilians
7:06 am
learning how to operate checkpoints and spot russian infill tray or thes. and these women learning to care for the wound and twist on tourniquets. what are you learning to do? >> to stop bleeding and then to stop blood loss and to have the -- help the injured soldier to breathe. >> reporter: president zelenskyy is calling on everybody here to help, and civilians so critical in this resistance. i want to show you what they're using here. in addition to packing on these sandbags, this an old soviet mine. it has been rendered safe, but they hope to try to use it against russian tanks should they advance. but across this country, they are losing hope that they can actually stall this russian invasion. they say they can't keep fighting with old soviet mines and molotov cocktails. they need more weapons and training. whit? >> incredible how people have stepped up to protect their towns and cities. matt, thank you.
7:07 am
colonel steve ganyard is a former defense and state department official. he joins us from washington. good morning to you. it's always great to have you. i want to start with that announcement from russia about a limited cease-fire for a couple besieged cities in the south and east. but we understand that already that cease-fire has been broken. what could this mean for the civilians trapped in the war zone there? >> yeah. a couple ways to look at this. the cynic would say the russians made this agreement so they could shell civilians and have them out in the open. but given how incompetent the russian military has been up to now, the other alternative scenario is they just didn't get the word and they didn't know they were supposed to stop shelling. either way, it's a bad outcome and there won't be much trust for the russians next time they offer up a cease-fire. >> we know these negotiations, so-called negotiations continue, but so far we're not seeing any off-ramps for diplomacy. what can we expect in the next 48 to 72 hours? >> whit, just looking at what's happened overnight and during
7:08 am
the day today, it is remarkably static on the battlefield. and that is so surprising because -- in two ways, surprising the ukrainians are doing so well and that the russians are doing so badly. it's quite clear now the russians cannot win, the ukrainians can not win, so the only thing we can hope for is some sort of a negotiated settlement. but the way things are going, putin will not want to come to the table with the battlefield looking the way it is. what we need to watch for in the next couple days is this russian tactic of accelerating the -- whatever happens on the ground, escalating to de-escalate. he will start something somewhere to try and change the terms on the battlefield. but this is not the situation mr. putin wants to negotiate from. >> there are those concerns it will only get worse. we've seen president zelenskyy calling for a no-fly zone. so far the u.s. and nato allies are standing firm against that. worried about a direct conflict with russia. what do people need to understand about the risks involved with a no-fly zone?
7:09 am
>> yeah. there are a couple practical things to think about. one is that the russian air force has been mostly missing in action. another absolutely remarkable thing about this conflict. the vaunted russian air force pretty much nowhere to be seen. so a no-fly zone would be intended to take care of that air force or to keep them from attacking civilians. in this case, it's the artillery we're worried about, that artillery getting closer to kyiv to start the siege or begin to crush the civilian opposition. the more practical problem is how do you do it? and immediately if you put u.s. and nato jets over ukraine, you're now at the point you can have u.s. and russian jets coming head to head, and that could spark a mayor war between russia and nato, and who knows how quickly that gets out of control. >> something the u.s. and its allies want to avoid. thank you for your time.
7:10 am
now to the growing humanitarian crisis, the united nations saying more than a million people have fled the country with more people lined up at the border every day. abc's marcus moore is in poland where the president there is welcoming refugees. marcus, good morning. >> reporter: gio, good morning. we are at a train station near the ukrainian border, and for an entire week we have seen families arriving here to then go to cities across europe as they are fleeing the fighting in ukraine. we now know that more than 700,000 people have crossed the border into poland. this morning, the exodus from ukraine, more than a million of those mothers and their children arriving by bus, by train, and so many on foot, crossing the border into poland and other countries. we were there as poland's president greeted some of them at this border crossing, the president addressing the vicious fighting that has compelled these families to leave their homeland while others fight for its survival. are you concerned that the conflict in ukraine will spill into poland?
7:11 am
>> sir, we are nato member. i believe in nato, and any toe is the strongest alliance in the world. much more stronger than russia and any other aggressor in the world. >> reporter: u.n. officials say more than a million have fled ukraine since the crisis began. some refugees of color say it has been particularly challenging to leave. >> i met some really nice people from slovakia who offered to take me to germany with them. we tried looking for maybe train or a bus, but couldn't find any. >> reporter: overnight russian troops violating a cease-fire aintending to allow ukrainians to evacuate as the assault shows no sign of abating. and still many among the most vulnerable have yet to evacuate. save the children, says many of ukraine's indy gent children. the hand capped and orphans are still in the country.
7:12 am
>> the lives that were displaced and lost were at a scale that i have not seen before. the last humanitarian disaster of this scale that i can recall, one, the syrian refugee crisis, and this has the potential to surpass that in scale. >> reporter: and officials say that this may just be the beginning as millions more could decide to leave their country to get away from the fighting. gio? >> absolutely heartbreaking images, marcus. thank you. coming up in the next half hour, "world news tonight" anchor david muir is on the ground with a closer look at the people forced to flee their own country. eva? turning to washington where ukraine's president zelenskyy will join all senators today for a video conference call, that at as the white house is resisting calls from a growing number of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to ban russian oil. and abc white house correspondent maryalice parks has more. >> reporter: the white house is facing a lot of questions about this. the pressure is growing.
7:13 am
so far president biden and his team seem pretty dug in. clearly, they are worried about anything that could disrupt global energy markets and run the risk of raising prices of gas even more here at home. on capitol hill, calls for a ban on russian oil growing louder from both sides of the aisle. >> i'm all for that. ban it. >> reporter: in the senate, a new bipartisan bill introduced to prohibit importing russian oil and gas led by west virginia's joe manchin and alaska's lisa murkowski, both from energy-rich states. but the white house side when asked if the president would sign such a bill -- >> we are looking at options to cut u.s. consumption of russian energy, but we are very focused on minimizing the impact to families. you reduce supply you'll raise gas prices. >> reporter: only about 1% of russia's oil exports go to the u.s., and nearly half goes to europe. so far the u.s. and european allies have been responding together in lock step to russia's invasion.
7:14 am
and jpmorgan estimating that in the last few days, as a result of russia's invasion of ukraine, russia is struggling to sell about two-thirds of its oil. international companies not wanting to do business with russian producers. the white house this week also responding to this tweet from senator lindsey graham. graham writing, "is there a brutus in russia? the only way this ends is for someone in russia to take this guy out," seeming to suggest russian president vladimir putin should be assassinated. >> that is not the position of the united states government and certainly not a statement you would hear coming from the mouth of anybody working in this administration. >> reporter: you mentioned the remarks from russian president vladimir putin. he had ominous words for the west. he said the sanctions are akin to a declaration of war. and on tuesday, we know that several national security officials will be testifying on capitol hill before lawmakers. you can imagine members of congress have a lot of questions. whit? >> thank you.
7:15 am
turning to your money now and the economic ripple effects of the war in ukraine, americans feeling the pinch as prices surge with gasoline hitting a record high in some places. abc's deirdre bolton joins us to break it all down. good morning. >> good morning. so, from gasoline to travel to food, many costs may move higher as a result of russia's incursion. the most noticeable place the americans are feeling the effects are at the gas station. oil trading at its highest level since 2008. if you look at gasoline alone, as of monday, the national average $3.61 a gallon, five days later up by 20 cents a gallon at $3.84. gasbuddy tells us we'll probably hitting $4 a gallon as soon as tuesday. russia among the world's top oil producers. any reduction in global supply driving prices higher. one expert says prices could stay at current levels for a month or more. in that case, air fares will go higher across the board because
7:16 am
of jet fuel the number two expense for airlines. basically, there is no alternative way to power most commercial aircraft. bottom line, waiting to book any travel is likely to cost you money. in addition, experts looking at food prices with a three-month view, so right now on global markets, wheat and corn prices are surging. 37%, 21% higher so far this year. ukraine called the breadbasket of europe. the nation accounts for 12% of the world's total wheat exports, 16% of the world's corn exports. while the u.s. doesn't directly import a lot of wheat or corn from ukraine, the longer the conflict lasts, the more fears of global shortages will drive prices higher, eventually production becoming more expensive. food producers could feel that and pass those costs to consumers, most experts saying that the russian-ukrainian conflict has to last months for the average american to feel more say in buying cereal or any kind of bread as a direct result thank conflict.>>bsutirdre, wel
